Millwall boss praises players' performance

"I thought it was a fabulous effort,” Rowett said of his players’ performance, per BBC Sport, after their final home game of the season, “I think the only disappointment is we had so many chances second half that we really could have scored five or six goals today.

"I think the players have done so well again at home, it's another good second half home performance.

"But to be in the position that we're in once again, it's not the first time we've been in this position to take care of our own side of the business and to take it to the last game of the season, albeit a really outside chance.

"I think the players have to deserve enormous credit and enormous complements."
